Infonnal Gathering of Students Questioned Venetoulis
November I, 1968 358-7061, Ext.304
No puppy burned
Ted Venetoulis
stresses voting
for major party
Ted Venetoulis., a former WhIte
House aide, dlaeussed the pollibility of
the presidential election being thrown
into the House of Representatives at a
convocation Tuesday.
He adviJed the student audience to
get involved in the two-party system.
"No vote Is a vote for the third p\lrly
and aD the dire consequences this
could give rise to," he told them.
Venetoulis Is the author of a book
entitled "The House Shall Choose." It
deals with the possibility of the
selection of the president by the House
of Representatives. This would happen
if a third party candidate captures
enough electorial votes to prevent
either of the other two from getting a
majority.
Venetoulis referred to the election of
1824, in which four candidates sought
the office of president The House had
to choose from the top three, leaving
out Henry Clay, the fourth candidate.
According to Ventoulis, behind the
scene, deals were made. l1e said Clay
was speaker of the House and wanted
to become Secretaty of State, which
had been an office that led to the
presidency.
As a result of the agreements made,
John Quincy Adams became
president . and Clay was appointed
Secretary of State.
The author praised the younl
people who campaigned for Sen.
Eugene McCarthy In hlJ bid for the
Democratic nomination for prelident
Venetoulis ', who has managed a
number of state and concreuional
campaigns, Slid he would "rather have
one experienced penon working for
him than four experienced, older
people."
"We need this prodding flom. the
young," Venetoulis said. "We've beaten
the professionals by outworking them,
by out-organizing thern. They can be
had," he concluded.
If the election does go to the House,
the country could fmd itself with no
president on inauguration day
VenetouliJ said. In the election of 1800
according to the author, the
representatives cast 35 baDots in a six
week period before deciding Thomas
Jefferson would be president instead of
Aaron Burr.
Venetoulis said the country could
have an acting president, however, if
the Senate, which chooses the vice
president in absence of a majority of
electoral votes proceeded more
efficiently with its work than the
House.
The author said the Senate could
stall action, however, if enough
memberd din't show up on the floor to
provide the necessary two-thirds
quorum for the body to function.

The Students for Liberal

500 people, who heard speeches by
SLG members and representatives of
national student groups.
Jeffrey Kelso, listed on the program
as an SGA representative, was the
first speaker.
"Why are you here?" he asked.
"Not to protest the war in Vietnam."
Boos from the crowd foUowed this
remark. Then Kelso said, "No, you are
here today to protest the alleged
destroying of a puppy . . . Why don't
you go down to MCV?: He said that
every day dogs are sacrificed there for
research and experiments.
He then spoke about the war.
mentioning chemical warfare. He said
this was "a crime against America."
"Right now there is a child burning
taking place in Vietnam." Suddenly, a
heckler yeUed, " Have you been there,
punk?" Ignoring the hecklers, Kp.lso
finished hi s speech.
Dave Hawk, representing the
National Student's Association. spoke
about American foreign policy and the
draft.
war-shouldn't you go down and enlist
yourself?"
In connection with the anti-war
protest movement, Hawk said he
favored sending a letter to one's local
draft board and turning in one's draft
card. Concerning American foreign
policy, he stated that American leaders
say they want to make the world safe
for democracy. "Protection of
American economic investments is
what American leaders reaDy mean,"

"We have made the decision that
the Vietnamese people are better off

about the Vietnam conflict. "None of
the government's rationale is sufficient
